storing ropes - 1/15/2006 10:02:04 PM

I have a large collection of ropes. they are grouped by type and length - over 500ft worth. I've noticed it can be quite a hassle when i bust them all out. I was thinking i would have to devise an easy way to store and access them. Perhaps a rack of spools or pins to wrap them around. Whatever the case it would have to be easy (foolproof) and quick.

any suggestions?

I figure this is a common problem with more than one solution.

thanks!

The best way to store rope is loosely coiled and hanging in a cool dry closet.

with over 4,000 feet of rope just for myself, and about another 4,000 feet of "in stock" merchandise that I sell on my website, the "rope salad" effect can be a difficult mountain to overcome.

You didn't mention if this is in your own playroom, or if you will be putting these into a toybag to travel to a playspace. If this is all being done in your own home, I would advise getting some kind of pegged strip (coat rack strips work great) and mount it on the wall of your playroom.

For storage in a toybag your going to need to keep them in some kind of coil. I personally use six different kinds of coils depending on rope length. If I want a 20 footer I look through the toybag for the rope coiled into a figure eight coil. If I want a 50 footer I look through the toybag for the rope coiled into a sea gasket.

The two most common kinds of storage are shown here ..... http://www.geocities.com/roo_two/ropestorage.html

Personally Im not that big a fan of storing ropes in a monkey chain. Tends to make "kinks" and bunch up the strands of a 3-strand rope.

Small rope that doesnt tangle(much) I roll up put in a coffee can,make a hole in the lid thread the rope through the hole,I can then pull out what I want and either cut it or put it back in the can.

Larger ropes I do the Monkey Knot ahh Chain...okay*I can see where that can happen* and hang them off large hooks.

I have rope wrapped around wood slats,they have holes for hanging on a nail on the wall out of the way.

I also use the coat hangers that have the clips on them,(for short pieces of rope)the rope doesnt slide off,you can attach clothespins to the hangers to hang other small lengths on.

The rope with dog hooks I hook on a ceiling hook and let hang.
